Make sure you know how to beatmatch incase one day you’re at a gig and all the tracks are double the tempo 😉

#1 Network (read: connections)
#2 Social Media (read: marketability)
Literally EVERYTHING else (yes, including music) is a far distant 3rd behind that.
I don’t like it either and it wasn’t always like this. But without any sugar coating, that’s how it is now.

[@Crossfader]

You're probably spot on

[@leonzalirchirl2828]

Hello crossfader team can you do some videos on how do somebody who DJs create a business name for solo DJing for licensing music through ASCAP and BMi

[@SnazzyBoxx]

Bought a few courses before now I want to buy another one , but it’s £115. Any current coupon to use? 😅

[@sidekick_music]

I’m just learning to beat match by ear but by the time I have matched the next song the vocals have already started which doesn’t sound good, is there a way to give myself more time with beatmatching?

[@kennyosi5132]

@reece1685 use loops.. this would give you time to beat match the tracks. Hope this helps.

[@reece1685]

@@kennyosi5132 how many bars for the loop?

[@vasiliszaxaropoulos8726]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@VICESbeats]

So what is really the best headphones? Any personal experience? 😊

[@Sasi-ex5yn]

Ironically, he represents the hip hop department of CrossFader, and not the house beat in background.

[@lordcarloshere]

What DJ is "probably missing" DJ gear and headphones? wat

[@rockybourg]

NO, we have NOT all done it.
Any & all bad press and negative impact on her "reputation" is earned.
Fakers faking make it more difficult for actual professionals.
...and then lying to cover up is merely an act of compound selfish stupidity.

[@leafsfanforever2896]

With respect to DJ pools, such a shame that most of them require a professional license (ie. getting paid to DJ). Such a shame for bedroom musicians especially.
If you are getting paid to DJ, playing music from UA-cam/SoundCloud/Spotify/whatever can get you sued for piracy, depending on the jurisdiction. You may get copyrighted by the original owner. Also, it sounds terrible (variable quality; even Armin Van Buuren admitted to using 192 kbps MP3s at one point)

[@UONeal]

You really don't need to be... They ask... You tell them some nonsense and pay the 10-20$ and you have a subscription...dj pools aren't what they used to be
